Well done Olga. I wasn't very impressed with his stuff, Apart from "Rain" which gets more and more interesting the longer you stare at it.Quote:

That's it... it's back to hermetic American Minimalist installation artists next time up.:ihih::patriot:
Two more pictures from our artist:

Keyword for the mystery artist is The Eight.
Sunflowers, Rocky Neck
John Sloan
The "Ashcan School" were OK... but I only really liked Bellows (who handled paint in a bravura manner unlike any other American painter of the period) and Robert Henri (not to mention Edward Hopper... who is something else altogether).
OK... our new mystery painting:

No idea - but those red boots look like handmade bespoke boots by Anello and Davide. When I was in my twenties, and despite being broke, I bought several pairs of those - in exactly that colour, with Cuban heels - and they took me through a joyous, ambitious and turbulent decade of my life, which I still think of as the Red Boot Years.
Say it ain't so...Quote:

How are we supposed to picture you as a "curmudgeon" now?

Curmudgeons do not spring fully-formed into being at fifty. They develop gradually from bright, optimistic, carefree Alice Cooper fans crushed by the vagaries of opportunities unfulfilled and made bitter by the removal of their vital organs at the hands of faithless women.
....Er.
I expect.
Our artist was well respected for his work in illustration... especially children's books. He was knighted. One of his children is actually far better known within the art world than he... being a respected Modernist.
Sir William Nicholson - the clue about the son helped quite a bit :p
The Silver Casket
Miss Simpson's Boots
The Lustre Bowl
Apres le Dejeuner by Renoir

Fairly easy one:

It's vaguely familiar. It looks like a painting used for a book cover illustration.
This artist mostly worked with female subjects but others paintings are not as... demure as this one.
Gustav Klimt
Lady with cape and Hat, Three Quarter View
1897/98
I was certain it was either Klimt or Munch having repeatedly run across the drawing in one of my books.

Finally, I can figure one out!
Noel Coward "St Margarets Bay"

I immediately recognized the White Cliffs.
Give me a moment and i'll have one for you
.
OK, here's the next one:

At the risk of being too obscure, I'll give you a clue up front.
The selection was inspired by another book cover.
EDIT - ...cover on a book that I finished a few weeks ago by a British author.
(The painter is not British)
.

Two more from our mystery painter:

Is it Dadd?
Oh hang on - he was British....
Scratch that.
I know the artist and know two additional pictures but haven't found the mystery picture title.
Ilya Repin
Preparation for the Examination
Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom
Leo Tolstoy Barefoot
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w184/akita08/pa.jpg
"Preparation for Examiniation" is the book cover image on my copy of "Under Western Eyes" by Joseph Conrad.

More Russians:rolleyes5: Time to pull out the esoteric American Minimalist Installation artists.:sosp:
Still trying Jazz. It demonstrates that there are rewards even to an unsucessful search. I now know there was an Orientalist Art movement.

Have mercy on us.
Now to the challenge at hand.

I tried to avoid using another Australian (or European) painting ;)
He is famous for combining traditional Indian art with European techniques...

Berthe Morisot
On the balcony.
Painted: 1871-72
I'm afraid the following picture will be too easy.

That must be Pompeii
The last day of Pompei by Karl Bryullov
Sorry but I couldn't get a larger version.

As a clue to the above painting, I think you might consider a conflict fought on Russian territory during the 19th century.
Always the damn Russians!:sosp:
Crimean War?Quote:
